Rabbits don't play dead; their response to predators is to run away. If a rabbit is lying down motionless, something is wrong. It could be in shock.

Do rabbits play dead?

No, rabbits don't play dead.Some people train their rabbits to perform tricks like hopping over jumps or dropping balls into baskets, so it's theoretically possible that you could train your rabbit to play dead, but that would be unusual. Playing dead is not a natural behaviour in rabbits: when faced with predations, rabbits generally know their only chance is to run for it.One person wrote: Yes they can. My dog got in my rabbits play pen and she was all over it. When I yelled at her she looked up and I saw my rabbit and thought it was dead! But when I picked it up she was breathing and alive and as alert as ever.Another wrote, in response: What you're describing is not playing dead, it's going into shock. Luckily, your rabbit pulled through, but stress and shock can lead to illness in rabbits: always try to minimize it in your rabbit's life.
